Russian figure skater Yevgeniy Semenenko is facing criticism for his participation in a recent event aimed at justifying Russia's military aggression against Ukraine. The event, which took place in Moscow, was attended by several Russian athletes and public figures who expressed their support for the Russian government's actions.

Semenenko's participation in the event has drawn strong condemnation, with many accusing him of using his platform as an athlete to spread propaganda and support a violent conflict.
